Grass Trees are a genus of about thirty species native to Australia. We thought first they were a type of Palm but they are not even related. This, I believe, is Xanthorrhoea johnsonii and was photographed in the Davies Creek area of Dinden National Park in Queensland. It has a very tall flower spike, almost as tall as the tree and was a very important plant to the aborigines.
